and hurrah boys, the swift rush Of the chase,
the thrilling scamper cross country, the mad
dash through the Long Islanders pumpkin
patch--also the mad dash, dash, dash Of
the farmer, the low moan Of the
disabled and frozen toed hen As the
whooping horsemen run her down; the
wild shrek Of the children. the low melan-
choly wall Of the frightened shoat as he fees
away to his strawpile, the quick yet muffied
punk Of the frozen tomato and the dull

The huntsman now takes the hsnnels of
his fox, rubs his stiffened limbs with garg-
ling oil, tiea a bunch Of flrecrackers to his
tail and runs him around the barn . few
times to see II he is in good order.
The foxhound is a cross Of the bloodhound,
the greyhound, the bulldog and the chump.
When you step on his tail he is said TO he in
full cry, The foxhound obtains from his an
cestors on the bloodhound side of the house
his keen scent, which enables him while in
full cry cross country to pause and hunt for
chipmunks He also obtains from the blood
hound branch of his family a wild yearning
to star in an Uncle Tom" cornpany, and
watch Little Eva meander up the fiume at 81
per week From the greyhound he gets his
most miraculous speed, which enables him to
attain q rate Of velocity so great that he is
unable to pause during the excitement Of the
chase, frequently running 30 far during the
day that 1t takes him a week TO get hack,
when, Of course. all interest has died out
From the bulldog the foxhound obtains his
convictions, his quick perceptions, his love Of
home and hts clinging nature. From the
chump the foxhound gets his high intellectu-
ality and that mental power which enables
him to distinguish almost at glance the sail
ent points Of difference between 2year-old
steer and a g. bill.
The foxhound il about two feet in height,
and 10 Of them would he considered an ample
number for a quiet little fox hunt Some
hunters think this number inadequate, but
unless the fox be unusually skittish and crawl
under the barn 40 foxhounds ought to be
enough The trouble generally is that hunt
ers make too much noise, thus soaring the
fox % that he tries to get away from them.
This necessitates hard riding and great aetiv-
ity on the part Of the whippersin Frightsn-
ing . fox almost always results in sending
him out Of the road and compelling horsemen
| to stop in order to take down . panel Of fence
every little while that they may follow the
animal, and before you can get the fence put
up again the owner 10 on the grsund, and after
you have made change with him and mounted
again the fox may be nine miles away. Try
| BY all means to keep your fox In the road!

One Of the 100 citizens who dead beat
their N ssages over the telephone walked
into a place on Congress street yesterday,
bowed suavely to the occupant Of the on3cs
and walked directly to the telephone
He rang up for Central and began:
"Hello, Centrsll Hello! Hello! Hello!"
No answer came and he went over the
ame ground twice more. Then he seized
the crank and rang the bell for two long
minutes. No answer. He had just finished
another turn at it when the proprietor looked
up and asked:
"What Is itF'
"Why, can't get the Central"
"Of course you can't The wires were de-
tached six months ago, and don't see Why
they don't come and take their telephone

it is too unwieldy and frequently delays the

should not be carried on fox hunt. Some
gentlemen carry . change Of cancs neatly
concealed in . shawl strap, but even this may
be dispensed with.

affected. went to an oculist for treatment
An operation was necessary, and the eye was
removed. While treating the socket previous
70 transplanting one from a rabbit, one Of
tho visual organs Of the latter being pre-
pared and laid upon the table, a cat stole in,
and before any one could prevent had seized
and eaten the rabbits eye. No other rabbit
being at hand to furnish the eye, the oculist
waited until his patient had recovered from
the state Of anRsthesia necessary to the
operation, and explained tho dilemma to
him. yah, yah, de katz ate mine eye up;
50, so, veil put an eye of dat katz in mine
eye. Dot katz got mine eye, will haf dot
katz's eye" The oculist did so for the sake
of the experiment, when, strange to say, tho
operation was successful and the cats eye
worked perfectly. One day the German met
friend, who said:
"Hans, hear dat you haf katz eye in

the circumstances, and his friend said: "Oh,
